Odd date results when using =TEXT()

Hello,

Is there something about the =TEXT() function in Excel that causes it to display incorrect information regarding dates?

For example, in the following screenshot from an .xlsm worksheet, typical date entries are present in column B. Each of the corresponding cells in column C contains a formula which is displayed in red in column D.

Note that cells C2 & C4 contain typical date functions and display accurate information. However, when the very same date functions are used as the value argument in =TEXT() functions (cells 3, 5 & 6), the results are no longer accurate.
